🐖Price List for Breeding-Quality Piglets
Our Selection Process
Any breeding quality piglet will be selected by the breeder based on birth weight, weekly weight gain, teat line and placement, proper body structure including movement, and weaning weight. Our pigs have reached market weight in 12 months whether they weaned at 20 lbs. or 30 lbs., but generally, we expect a piglet to gain weight at about 20% per week up to weaning, then about 16 lbs. per month thereafter to reach the 200 in 12 benchmark. These expectations are based on litters we've raised previously from farrow to finish. We cannot however guarantee that you will have the same results -- these are merely our own observations.
Deposit and Payment
A non-refundable deposit on breeding quality piglets of $100 will be due at reservation with the remaining balance due at pick up. A basic contract will be required to be completed at reservation. All breeding quality piglets will have a base price of $500 and will go up from there. We accept Paypal, Venmo, or Zelle, but cash is always king.
Registration and ID
Piglets will go home with full registration and breeding rights from AKKPS only since we are an AKKPS Exclusive Breeder. All piglets will be microchipped and samples pulled for DNA before they leave. Any piglets leaving Texas will be required to have their appropriate USDA ear tags and a CVI (certificate of veterinary inspection) from our vet.
Health and Vaccinations
Piglets will have had iron injections at 3 days of age and Rhinishield vaccine for pneumonia. Parvovirus vaccine is not offered by our vet for pigs, so if that is something you require, please mention it and we will try to work something out.
Transport and Travel
We will work with a transporter at buyer's expense. The transporters we have used in the past have quoted $1.00 per mile. We understand that this is a huge expense, but don't want you to be surprised if you've never shipped livestock before. Any out of state transport will require a CVI from our vet within 2 weeks of the piglet leaving and will be invoiced along with the final amount due to the buyer. The destination may have specific laws regarding livestock entry, please check and plan ahead with us. We have a short list of transporters with whom we have worked with in the past. Any transport crates that need to be purchased will be added to the final invoice of purchase.
Specifics and Details
If a buyer wants wattled piglets or a certain color, please indicate that when you place your deposit and we will work with your requests as best as the dice roll from the dam and sire lets us. :) If you are purchasing a lone boar and need a barrow for his companion, barrows will be $100. If you buy a starter pack unrelated breeding pair or trio, a companion barrow will be included free of charge.
🥓Feeder Piglet Price List
Price and Deposit
Feeder piglets at 8 weeks of age are $125 regardless of size and gender. A $50 non-refundable deposit is required for feeder piglets.
Castration Policy for Feeders
Boars will be castrated at 6-8 weeks of age before leaving, no exceptions. Feeder piglets will not be registered unless you intend to enter a pig into the Market Pig class at a show. If you decide to show your market barrow at a later date after purchase, we don't mind helping set up a market pig registration for the buyer at buyer's expense.
Health and Vaccinations
Feeder piglets WILL NOT receive vaccinations other than iron shots at 3 days of age, unless otherwise requested. We understand that most families raising their own pork want vaccine-free and we will honor this unless otherwise requested. Vaccines will be given at no additional charge if requested.
No Lone Pigs Policy
Piglets sold for market must be joining other pigs, otherwise two will be required to be purchased together, no exceptions. Our pigs will be ready for harvest between 12-14 months of age.
🐽Companion Piglet or Pet Price List
Pet Pig Policy
Companion animals or pets will be sold without breeding rights or registration. We do not sell pet quality pigs often, but will offer undersized runts once in a while.
Since we are focused on breeding larger pigs for pork, bringing home these genetics as a pet, even if it is a runt, has the genetic potential to surprise us and turn into a 300-400 lb. animal.
Unless you are prepared to deal with a massive kunekune, we suggest you find another breeder who does not focus on the 200 in 12 genetics if you want a pet. We can certainly point you towards some good breeders in the DFW area, so please reach out! Otherwise, any runts will be posted to our Facebook page only when they become available.
Pet Price
These piglets will go for $250 with a $150 non-refundable deposit. They will be vaccinated before they leave and males will be castrated, no exceptions. The remaining balance is due at pick up. Pet pigs must be going to a home with other pigs. If you have no other pigs, then another runt will be required to be purchased if we have one available. Otherwise, we can point you towards pigs available for adoption from the aforementioned local breeders.
